India continued exporting weapons, ammunition and military components to Israel despite the International Court of Justice’s warning of a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza, with at least 2,596 military shipments recorded after October 7, 2023, according to a new Amnesty International investigation released on Wednesday.
The report, “Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel,” alleges that Indian government-owned companies and private defence manufacturers continued supplying key military equipment to Israeli defence firms while Israel prosecuted its military campaign in Gaza.
Drawing on shipment-level trade records, Amnesty said it documented 2,596 consignments of weapons, ammunition, military parts and armoured vehicle components exported from India to Israel between October 7, 2023 and November 30, 2025.
According to the report, the shipments included at least 390,516 components for military-grade small arms, 564,970 explosive ordnance parts, including artillery shell casings and drone warheads, and 298 armoured vehicle components supplied to Israeli companies directly involved in supplying the Israeli military.
Amnesty said it deliberately excluded shipments that could have been intended for civilian use or for Israel’s missile-defence systems, limiting its analysis to equipment it believes could directly support military operations.
The human rights organisation argued that India had continued facilitating arms transfers despite provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice recognising a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
“Our research reveals India’s continuing support to the Israeli military and defence sector despite the genocide in Gaza, which has been broadcast worldwide on an almost daily basis for years,” Amnesty Secretary General Agnès Callamard said.
She argued that Indian authorities could no longer claim ignorance of the legal risks associated with continuing military exports.
“While the Israeli military was inflicting widespread death, destruction and suffering on Palestinians in Gaza, Indian companies continued to profit by supplying components and munitions destined for Israel’s defence sector,” she said.
The report says India’s growing defence partnership with Israel has expanded through both state-owned enterprises and joint ventures involving private Indian manufacturers.
Among the companies identified are the state-owned Munitions India Limited, Bharat Forge subsidiary Kalyani Systems, Indo MIM, PLR Systems -- a joint venture between Adani Defence & Aerospace and Israel Weapon Industries -- and Alpha Elsec Defence & Aerospace Systems, a joint venture with Israeli defence giant Elbit Systems.
Israeli recipients named in the report include Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, all major suppliers to the Israeli military.
Amnesty said it wrote to the Indian government and nine companies before publication but had received no response.
Beyond the individual shipments, the organisation also criticised India’s export control system, saying it lacks explicit human rights safeguards and operates with limited transparency.
India has not signed or acceded to the Arms Trade Treaty and abstained from the United Nations vote adopting the treaty in 2013.
The report argues that under international humanitarian law, states should not authorise arms transfers where there is a clear risk the weapons could contribute to serious violations.
Amnesty called on India to immediately suspend all exports of weapons, ammunition, military components and related technology to Israel until it can ensure such transfers are not contributing to violations of international law.
“By knowingly allowing the transfer of arms to Israel, India stands in clear violation of its duty to prevent genocide under the Genocide Convention and its obligation to ensure respect for the Geneva Conventions,” Callamard said.
The report comes as international scrutiny of military support for Israel continues to intensify amid the ongoing war in Gaza, where Amnesty and several other rights organisations have accused Israel of committing genocide -- an allegation Israel strongly rejects.
